I have bound two systems.

Suzumiya Chisato interrupted Touma Kazusa's plan to say something.

"Anyway, let me apologize in advance for telling you those lies."

"..."

Touma and Sa quickly became nervous, and this nervousness quickly turned into fear.

The other person's demeanor when speaking was very similar to her memory of her mother who had rejected her that year, and the two gradually overlapped.

Are you going to experience that maddening loneliness of being left behind again?

"I used to scoff at the idea of ​​falling in love at first sight, until I met you."

"..."

"..."

"!"

Eh? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An expression of pain just appeared on Touma Hesa's delicate face, but it stopped in an instant and then disappeared at a very fast speed.

She looked up and met Suzumiya Chisato's eyes.

What was revealed there nakedly and without any disguise was the sweetness that made her feel physically comfortable.

Chapter 193: Frank Words

Eh? !

Touma Kazusa was still in a daze, with a big question mark on her little head.

What did Suzumiya just say?

Don’t believe in love at first sight…but until you met me?

What does this mean? Why are you looking me in the face and saying this?

Extremely shaken emotions welled up in Touma Hesa's eyes.

The girl just doesn't like studying, but she is not stupid. Her heart has already given the answer to this sentence, but she simply cannot believe it.

This was still an ambiguous statement to her, and she needed more straightforward words to confirm it.

Chisato Suzumiya did not give Touma and Sa too much time to think and continued to speak directly. Since she had already spoken, it didn't matter if she said it more directly and clearly.

"It was probably around the beginning of the new semester. I developed a crush on you, Touma, just for the most superficial reason, your appearance. Before that, I never thought that there would be someone in this world who looked so like me."

"you you you you……!"

Such words are too simple and straightforward, and the consequences are quite brutal and powerful.

It wasn't some extremely romantic love talk, but it penetrated deeply into Touma Hesa's heart, and the sweetness radiated from the inside out. She panicked and lost her composure. Not only did she not speak clearly, but even her outstretched hand trembled like a frail 80-year-old.

Chisato Suzumiya took the initiative to hold her slender hand that was still shaking in mid-air, which made Hesa's pretty face even redder, her lips were tightly pursed, and it seemed that a little steam was coming out of her head.

But this time, she did not take the initiative to show her willingness to let the other party let go as she did just now, but just quietly let her fingertips lie in the other party's palm.

It turns out that a boy’s palms are so warm.

"What I am going to say next may make you feel uncomfortable, but I hope you can listen to me patiently to the end."

Touma Hesa ​​stared at his face. Those eyes, which were too bright, made her a little flustered for a moment, as if she was electrocuted, and her whole body felt numb.

She slowly looked away and responded with a soft "Yeah" in a nasal voice. She looked so delicate and lovely, completely different from her usual self.

Suzumiya Chisato sorted out the complicated words in her heart, and then she slowly spoke,

"If you have a crush on someone, you will naturally want to get in touch with her. I once tried to get along with Touma as a classmate, but it didn't work very well. You don't like talking to others, and you don't want others to get close to you. In this case, I can only take some unconventional measures."

He felt a little nervous when he said this, and deliberately paused for a moment to observe Touma and Sa's facial expressions.

At this moment, she was extremely well-behaved and docile, without any impatience or negative emotion on her face. She did not show any disgust or surprise at the word "unconventional" from the other party. She had already known the fact that was the happiest thing for her, and the rest of the things were no longer important, and she would not care.

This made Suzumiya Chisato bolder, and she continued,

"Touma, you sleep every day, whether in class or after class, and sometimes you're late or leave early. The exclusive aura you exude makes me a little distressed, but at the same time I'm also very happy, because when you show this attitude, you have no friends around you, and I don't have to worry about any competitors emerging.

But I am not satisfied with just maintaining a classmate relationship with you. I know that it would be unnatural to talk to you too directly. I am afraid that my intentions will be easily seen through by you, so I chose other ways to contact you. To be honest, after you accidentally fell that day, I was actually quite happy in my heart, because it meant that I had a legitimate reason to contact you. "

"..."

The girl pursed her lips in slight dissatisfaction, but looking at her expression, she didn't look angry.

She was able to thoroughly understand what he had been thinking during this period of time from his own narration, and she was able to get to know Chisato Suzumiya better.

Did this guy have such feelings for me at that time?

"The reason I asked you to borrow money afterwards was that I finally got close to you, and I wanted to continue our relationship. If I used the legitimate reason of paying back the money as a cover, I could talk to you naturally."

All the thoughts that were carefully considered were exposed at this moment.

Touma Kazusa realized something. She recalled the expression that Chisato Suzumiya had shown in front of her before, showing her love for the piano. Could that also mean...

Suzumiya Chisato could guess what Kazusa was thinking from the change in her expression, and he nodded frankly.

"Because I want to be with Touma, the reason for helping each other is, to some extent, an excuse I came up with. I do have an interest in the piano, but the main reason that drove me to say that was because of you."

Suzumiya Chisato continued to speak these words shamelessly.

"Not just in class, I also want to have interactions with Touma in other situations, not just now, but in the future, I also want to be by Touma's side like I am now.

The piano may be an excuse, but I really want to teach you, because Dongma can catch up with me and go to college with a little effort, but I am different. As you said, people have different talents. If you end your studies after graduating from high school and start pursuing your dream as a pianist like your mother, then I will never be able to catch up with you. "

Where I am, you can easily reach with a little effort, but where you are, there is no way I can reach it no matter what.

Chisato Suzumiya had thought about this question a long time ago, and now she spoke out honestly.

Touma Kazusa finally understood everything. She slowly pulled her hand out of the other person's palm and pressed her fingers on the edge of the table. The high temperature rising from her brain spread to her whole body, and she was completely unable to think.

She had completely understood Chisato Suzumiya's feelings that had existed for a long time, but she didn't know how she should react at this moment.

Suzumiya Chisato was not surprised by her reaction. It takes a process for people to go from knowing something to accepting it.

He stood up, said nothing, and walked straight to the kitchen, leaving Touma and Sa alone to think quietly.

He had said everything he wanted to say, and now it depended on her response.

…………

Chapter 194: Those who broke into the game

"Knock knock knock..."

"Gulu gulu gulu..."

There were constant noises in the kitchen, and Chisato Suzumiya was preparing lunch in an orderly manner.

In the living room, Touma and Sa were still sitting at the table, maintaining the same posture as at the beginning, without moving.

Everything seemed natural, as if they had returned to last weekend, but the reality was that their relationship had been shattered by one of them's self-exposure and was developing in a completely unpredictable direction.

If I start a family in the future, will it be as warm and natural as it is now?

Touma and Sa were thinking about these things in a wild and imaginative way.

Because of the directions they were facing, she could clearly see Chisato Suzumiya's movements, but the other party could not observe the situation on her side.

The boy's background is tall and slender, giving her an excellent visual enjoyment, which is heart-warming.

When Touma Kazusa heard Suzumiya Chisato say that he fell in love with her at first sight, she also wanted to say "I fell in love with her too".

But due to her lack of courage and difficult personality, she simply couldn't say such words, and could only listen to him passively in silence.

She kept regurgitating in her mind what he had just said.

Compared to the little thoughts in her own mind, Suzumiya Chisato obviously thought about more. He was not only focusing on the present, he was also actively looking forward to the future.

He said that he wanted to be able to stay by her side in the future, and he was actually working hard for this.

Touma Hesa ​​looked down at the test paper on the table, her lips tightly pursed, but she couldn't help but smile.

He had already thought about their future.

Mmmmm!

He is such a shameless guy who can say such embarrassing words in such a normal tone without any expression on his face!

but……

I feel really happy.

The news that I had known before that he was close to many girls became completely unimportant at this moment.

"Ah……"

It has been a long time since Touma and Sa felt so happy as they are now, and they couldn't help but laugh softly.

She quickly covered her mouth and looked towards the kitchen guiltily.

Suzumiya Chisato had his back to her, and because of the distance between them, he seemed not to hear the faint voice just now.

Touma Kazusa put down her hands with relief. After such great joy, she felt helpless and distressed.

She got an unexpected answer, but at the same time a brand new problem was placed in front of her.

The other party has already expressed his feelings, and according to convention, it is her turn to express her thoughts next.

By the way, the "routines" that Touma Kazusa knows are not the result of her many related experiences, but the knowledge she gained from various film and television works and romance comics during the two years when she neglected to practice piano.

In other words, she had no practical experience and only theoretical knowledge, which she didn't know whether it was correct or not. She was a completely blank slate.

Touma Kazusa was extremely distressed. Half an hour had passed since Suzumiya Chisato walked into the kitchen. If she was still silent and dull like she was now when he prepared lunch, would he feel disappointed and embarrassed and never appear by her side again?

It would be nice if mom was around.

Touma Kazusa recalled her mother, whom she regarded as a role model when she was young a long time ago. She was a famous pianist who not only possessed excellent piano playing skills, but was also always surrounded by men.

If it were her, what advice would she give me now?

Touma Kazusa laughed at herself and shook her head slightly.

At this point, what's the point of thinking about the heartless mother who abandoned me? It won't help the current situation at all.

In the end, she still has to rely on herself.

However, as someone like me, who has a messy family, a bad temper and is difficult to get along with, can I really accept the affection he expressed?

Thinking about this situation, Touma and Sa suddenly fell into a low mood and became uneasy again.

And at this time, Chisato Suzumiya's lunch was ready.

Simple Japanese cuisine, the main course is potato stew and tempura fried shrimp, served with lettuce salad and a white radish miso soup.

He took off his apron and served the food to both of them. He invited Touma and Sa to sit at the table together. The two of them picked up their chopsticks one after another facing each other.

Suzumiya Chisato whispered, "I'm starting," and Touma Kazusa just moved her lips slightly but made no sound.

The time left for her was too short and there were too many things to think about. She hadn't sorted out her thoughts yet and didn't know how to face Chisato Suzumiya who had feelings for her. So she could only lower her head silently and use silence to buy herself some controlled thinking time.

But just dragging it on like this is not a solution, I have to say something.

I have to say something that can both ease the current atmosphere and make Suzumiya feel better.

"Today's meal is delicious."

Touma Kazusa said this with all her might.

Extremely dry, without any moisture at all.

Suzumiya Chisato put a piece of potato in her mouth and answered in the same brief way.

"As long as you like it."

Taking into account Touma and Sa's dietary preferences, he specially made all the dishes sweet today, and it seems that the effect is really good.

"Regarding what I said before, Touma, just listen to it. I don't need you to give me any response. I just want to say these words out of my own will, so you don't have to worry too much."

This was not what Chisato Suzumiya originally intended. He wanted to take this opportunity of self-confession to see a more obvious reaction from Touma and Kazusa, rather than just the favorability prompts that kept popping up from his perspective.

However, judging from the fact that she had only managed to utter such an irrelevant sentence in such a long time, Suzumiya Chisato realized that Touma Hesa's personality might be much more clumsy than he had imagined.

So he gave up his original plan, thinking it would be okay to give her more time to think about it.

But such thoughtfulness conveys a completely opposite signal to Touma and Sa.
